Information about upcoming 1.0.4 patch

Newcomers aren't playing inferno so does inflation really hurt them?

It would start to sting in hell mode already.

A lot of entry level 60 level gear isn't selling because...

1.) The people that actually need them are burdened with repair costs and lack gold farming power, thus they can't buy them.
2.) The people that have entered inferno don't need them.
3.) Because of this, people are vendoring gear that is perfectly fine for people still in hell, making it even harder for them to progress. I sometimes find halfway usable mid 50's gear in inferno, but since it'll sell at 5-10k at most, I end up just selling/salvaging simply because I don't want to waste a slot on it. 700 dps 1 hander? Salvage.

Basically, it increases the gap between someone with a 60 and someone without. It's not as severe as 1.03, where if you were poor, you would get even poorer unless you were a tank.
